Enhance your organization’s leadership and team performance through the application of mindfulness skills and the science of positive psychology.

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention to what’s happening in the present moment with specific positive attitudes. It means connecting with what’s going on inside yourself and around yourself – knowing what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

Mindfulness is the foundation for many critical leadership abilities including:• Focusing on what’s most important• Maintaining emotional control in the face of stress• Working well with others• Managing complexity and adapting to change• Enhancing creativity and innovation

SIGMA offers several options that integrate mindfulness skills training with best practices for leadership success.

We offer:• Online training that can be done at your own pace• Workshops (half and full-day options)• One-on-one coaching

“ The main business case for mindfulness is that if you are fully present on the job, you will be more effective as a leader, you will make better decisions, and you will

work better with other people.”– Bill George, Harvard Business Professor, Former Medtronic CEO
